[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picasso82:
Hi there. I'm firsts time here and looking for help with my Desire HD. Bought on ebay wit hfault describe as boot loop. Actually it stuck on white htc screen. Can access bootloader. Basically I spent 3 days looking for solution, googling, reading with understan, trying diffrent solutions - but nothing I 'm gonna explain what I've done till now and asking somebody to tell me if it's permanent fault or there is a way to fix my DHD.

Let me write some more info about my DHD and explain what results I've achieved till now

First of all I tried to flash CyanogenMod 7.2 with fastboot as my DHD got unlocked bootloader with HTC dev

result

fastboot flash zip pd98img.zip --> Failed (Remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)

I relocked bootloader

Flashed RUU with fastboot ... all without any errors

but still stuck on green HTC

I was flashing that RUU RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_ARA_3.13.415.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227469_signed

I tried factory reset and it ends with stuck on green htc - nothing is happening after I choose factory reset - just green htc

And it’s not that case with flashing froyo hboot on DHD shipped with Gingerbread

My DHD boot into bootloader in few seconds

I’ve flashed older ver of CWM 3.0.0.5

Again boot into recovery - >green htc and nothing more

After C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery3.0.0.5.img downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 0.596s] booting... OKAY [ 0.001s] finished. total time: 0.598s

then tried to get some output from the boot process to check where it stucks
